An Animal Science staff member was hit by a left-bound vehicle Thursday afternoon at the crosswalk of South Campus Drive and the Old Forestry Building, according to LSU Police Department spokesman Cory Lalonde.
The female pedestrian sustained a broken leg and was transported to Ochsner’s Medical Center by EMS, Lalonde said. The accident was a slow-speed occurrence, he said.
Lalonde said LSUPD is not releasing the pedestrian’s name at this time and does not have information about the driver of the vehicle.
Alyssa Pham, biological sciences senior, saw a gray sedan strike the woman while on her way to class.
“As soon as I turned my head, I saw a car hit her,” she said.

 ”It was … an adrenaline rush,” she said. “I’ve never seen anything like that
